patch to fix bluetooth connectivity bug

Hi, at the behest of William I had a go at this bug and it seems (hopefully)
that it was a simple problem, here is my patch with an explanation of the
problem in the commit message. This works for me at least, I can connect to my
laptop now and change slides and all the rest of it.

Since Android version 6.0 one needs ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION or
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION in order to find nearby Bluetooth devices, as a security
measure.

(https://developer.android.com/about/versions/marshmallow/android-6.0-changes.html#behavior-hardware-id)

This means (I think) that any Android version before 6.0 should still work
fine, although I have no way of confirming this. Also I don't know if one needs
to explicitly request permissions inside the app? I did that while debugging,
but now I only added a permission request in the manifest file, and it seems to
work.
